QUEEN'S BUILDING.

Mr. Jahn, "Wee Mac," Macpher son, long identified with the ship building industry in Shanghai, re- tired from Oriental connections and returned home in the P., & O. a.s. Macedonia. For more than 32 years Mr. Macpherson has been in China, during which period he was an active Mason. He stood high in the estimation of his superiors, who tendered him a dinner about two weeks ago. Immediately before his departure, Mr. Macpherson was entertained in the Masonic Club by Masonic friends.

Heroic nurses. doctors and in- teraes rescued 166 patients includ ing a doren babies from fire which virtually destroyed St. Joseph's hospital, Providence, R.I., Tast week. So sticcessful were their efforts that no casualties whatever were recorded. In the midst of the excitement, the internes removed to a place of safety 30 tanks of nitrous oxide, which is used as an anesthe- tic. Physicians said that this amount of explosive would have been enough to destroy the entire city of Providence if the fire had reached the tanks.

Over one hundred and sixty mem- bere and guests of the Chinese Young Men's Christian Association were present at the Lane, Cram ford's Restaurant on Saturday night, when a dinner was held in connection with the next financial campaign. Mr. J. D. Bush presid- ed and was supported by Messrs. J. L MacPherson, Dick Lee, Y. 8. Tiao, Wong Tong and Wong Fa Cheong The forthcoming enmpaign promises to be as successful as 807 of its predecessors, and there are a good number of energetic young men among this year's team leadere and workers.

Members of the Jewish Club and a large gathering of their friends. apent a very folly evening on Saturday, the occasion being a Iancy-dress dance. There was a brilliant scene in the ballroom, as most of the ladica. wore gay or gorgeous attire, and many of the men had costumes equally expressive of the carnival spirit. The guests. of the Club on Saturday numbered about two hundred and al}' thoroughly enjoyed themselves, thanks to the generous hospitality of their hosts. It was one of those very successful evenings which ex- tend well into the following moru- ing!

The tradition in China, however, was that the horn gave a are indica- tion if any liquid placed in it con tained poison, when it was believ ed to sweat and change colour. The Chinese also made small glass assay cups. which were believed to crack in contact with if they came poison."

Death of Old Shanghai Resident.

In London on February 29 the death occurred of Mr. A. P. Wood, formerly engineer-in-chief and gen eral manager of the Shanghai Waterworks Co. Mr. Wood was born at York in 1856, and served his time as pupil with the North Eastern Railway, and it was char- acteristic of his thoroughness "that he passed through the workshops. After spending some years with the railway, he was engaged on con- structive work on the Bute Docks at Cardiff, and on the Taff Vale Railway. It was in 1885 that Mr. Wood came to Shanghai and began his long and successful association with the Shanghai Waterworks Co... succeeding Mr. Hart who had laid out the original works. Mr. Wood remained in charge for 30 years, and saw the Waterworks develop into the great enterprise it is to day. Mr. Wood's major interest in sport was cricket. He 73 a

cricketer of no mean ability, and had played for the Yorkshire Gentlemen when barely out of his teens In Shanghai he played un-" til he was over fifty, and he was of great service to the Shanghai Cricket Club, both as a player and as president, a position that he held for many years. He was a strong supporter of all the leading clubs, and after he ceased active work on the cricket-field he took up golf, and was a constant fre quenter of the Hungjas and Kiang. wan links. Apart from sport, Mr. Wood took an active part in the doings of the local national and other organizations, and was a mem ber of many committees. At one time. ho was President of St. George's Society and of the Engi neering
